LAND USE PROPOSAL
The land use plan for Dasmariñas was formulated in close coordination with the agencies and officials concerned with planning and development of the municipality. It broadly delineates the general location of major function zone goes/ Areas in support of the identified functional role/development thrust of the municipality.
Based on preliminary analysis and findings resulting from studies conducted regarding socio-economic profile, physical characteristics and development situations obtaining in the municipality, the plan proposes allocating of land resources in the following pattern:
RESIDENTIAL AREAS
The plan proposes the development of residential areas into low, medium and high-density districts.
Areas inside the following boundaries, on the North by Salitran-Salawag Road, East by Paliparan-Salawag Road, South by Paliparan I-II boundaries, Manila Memorial Park, St. Charbel Subdivision and Vineyard Village of Robinson Group, West by National Power Corporation, Sto. Niño Creek and

Existing uses inside the rectangular area such as residential subdivision, institutional establishments and industrial activities, and special planned unit development projects are retained. Expansion however shall be subject to the provisions of the ordinance.
Heights of buildings shall be arranged on ascending order, with those constructed on lots abutting roads being lower and going higher towards the center. Building constructed on the lots abutting roadways shall not exceed 15 meters high or 5 stories, whichever lesser, followed by buildings 18 meters high or 12 meters or 4 stories only whichever is lesser.

Accessibility to major functional zones shall be affected through the existing road network and proposed roads passing via feasible routes.
COMMERCIAL AREAS
The areas intended for commercial use includes the Commercial Business District (CBD) where the public market and the commercial establishment are concentrated. The plan proposes the development of about 100 meters on both sides of
A 50-meter strip of both sides of Congressional Ave. – East, which at present is developing into a commercial area, is also classifies as CBD or C-1 areas. Another 50-meters strip on both sides of Paliparan Molino road from Governor’s drive to the intersection of Salitran-Salawag road will be considered as CBD-1 due to the rapid housing development.
Areas within 100-meters from the existing public market shall be excluded from the C-1 areas specifically the Financial and Commercial District on the eastern side of
To ensure free flow traffic, there shall be adequate provisions for parking within the commercial sites, for those along the highway, ingress/engress to the highway shall be controlled.
Building height shall be in ascending order from those lot abutting the highway towards the inner lots of Institutional Areas.
In line with the functional role of the municipality as a university town to provide its residents with social services for health and religion, protective services and other cultural purposes, the plan proposes the allocation of sufficient land in appropriate location for institutional development. Land allowed for institutional use include sites for schools, hospitals, chapels/churches and community service centers integrated with residential use.
Notable expansions of institutional areas are at Burol Main northern part of Congressional Road East and eastern part of
ECONOMIC SECTOR
1. AGRICULTURE
Agriculture is the traditional economic base of the municipality, occupying an area of 12045.56 hectares or 22.10% of the total land area only 949.42 hectares or 46.41% are devoted to crop production. The remaining agricultural areas are devoted to production of livestock, poultry and swine while other areas are no longer productive and have remained idle for years. Corollary to agro-industrial thrust of the province, the implementation of CALABARZON and the functional role Dasmariñas is playing, agricultural development was greatly affected as evidence by the decreasing area devoted to agriculture.
a. CROP PRODUCTION
Of the total agricultural area, 949.42 hectares of 46.41% are productive. These are planted to food crops such as palay, corn, fruits, vegetable and sugarcane.
Rice, being the staple food, is the major agricultural crop of the municipality occupying on area of 253.30 hectares. Of these, 203 hectares irrigated and 50 hectares are upland. Other food crops include fruits and vegetables occupying as area of 680 hectares. He leading fruits being produced are the municipality is mangoes and pineapple.
b. LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY
The agro-industrial development in Dasmariñas was brought about the influx of institutional and residential centers in the area. Delineated in the appropriate zoned areas so as not to cause adverse environmental effects, agri-business is one of the agricultural boost, which could strengthen the economic base of the municipality. For the year 1999, the office of the Municipal Agriculturist reported a backyard Livestock and poultry production of 5650 and 20000 heads, respectively. There are nine (9) semi-commercial farms and thirteen (13) commercial farms in the municipality.
c. AGRICULTURAL SUPPORT AND FACILITIES
1. Irrigation services
· Irrigated areas are serviced by irrigation pumps drawing water from Embarcadero, Makiling and Luksuhin Dams located in Barangay Paliparan, Salitran and San Agustin, respectively.
2. Support Facilities/Post Harvest Facilities
· The construction, maintenance and improvement of barangay roads that serves as farm to market roads enable the farmers to market to market their product without difficulty.
· Post-harvest facilities include
1. 17 threshers
2. 1 solar dryer in Barangay Langkaan
3. 12 power tiller
4. 8 cono type rice mill
5. 1 semi cono rice mill
6. 8 warehouses
· There are four (4) chicken dressing/ mini-dressing plants in the area. These are located in Barangay Paliparan, San Agustin I and II and Zone IV.
· There are slaughterhouses in the municipality, the biggest of which is the
· The municipality has one
3. Agricultural Support Program
a. Cooperative
b. Credit Bank for Financial Assistance
c. Facilities and Equipment
4. Technical Assistant/Extension Services
· The Department of Agriculture through the office of the Municipal Agriculturist has been extending agricultural services and providing facilities for the continuous development of this sector in the municipality. Various programs and projects has been initiated by said agency to assist farmers, landowners and farm workers. Supervised credit and service programs are also extended to farmers both by government and private establishments such as banks and loan associations and cooperative organizations. There is a Municipal Plant Nursery which produced different kinds of seedlings for planting needs of farmers in the municipality and it is supported by the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist in case of insufficiency of stocks.
d. CONVERSION/ RECLASSIFICATION
According to Municipal Agrarian Reform Office (MARO) there are 25965388 hectares of land reclassified as residential from March 11, 1991 up to present.
e. DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
The existing agricultural development in the area shows a downward trend evidence by the continuous decrease in the area devoted to agriculture. It has been noted that said lands are being converted to agricultural uses. Likewise, reduction in the physical area causes commensurate reduction in volume and value of production of the remaining agricultural areas. This situation has been brought about by an upsurge of the real estate industry considering the town proximity to Metro Manila. These make the prices of land lucrative enough for farmer owners, tenants and farm workers to sell their farms lots and rights to real estate developers. These are manifestations of shifting development trends which local officials must address to and keep the municipality attitude to the best alternative towards development.
Vegetable and fruit yields may not be commensurate in figures with requirements of the population but backyard garden and orchard can augment the production data. Likewise, since vegetable is a very common crop, deficiency is not so much a problem. It can be acquired through own initiative and at a lower cost. Cropping season can be doubled or tripled to suffice the requirement. In general, the municipality is more of a food importer.
